some_o twenty_o five_o year_n before_o the_o meaning_n then_o of_o saint_n james_n be_v that_o they_o which_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o without_o good_a work_n but_o that_o they_o do_v so_o manifest_a

for_o his_o sake_n there_o be_v therefore_o in_o this_o argument_n more_o than_o three_o term_n and_o it_o hang_v together_o like_o a_o rope_n of_o sand_n 16_o if_o justification_n be_v take_v away_o
